Polymer-based circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) materials with the advantage of diversified structure
easy fabrication
high thermal stability
and tunable properties have garnered considerable attention. However
adequate and precise tuning over CPL in polymer-based materials remains challenging due to the difficulty in regulating chiral structures. Herein
visualized full-color CPL is achieved by doping red
green
and blue quantum dots (QDs) into reconfigurable blue phase liquid crystal elastomers (BPLCEs). In contrast to the CPL signal observed in cholesteric liquid crystal elastomers (CLCEs)
the chiral 3D cubic superstructure of BPLCEs induces an opposite CPL signal. Notably
this effect is entirely independent of photonic bandgaps (PBGs) and results in a high
g
lum
value
even without matching between PBGs and the emission bands of QDs. Meanwhile
the lattice structure of the BPLCEs can be reversibly switched via mechanical stretching force
inducing on-off switching of the CPL signals
and these variations can be further fixed using dynamic disulfide bonds in the BPLCEs. Moreover
the smart polymer-based CPL systems using the BPLCEs for anti-counterfeiting and information encryption have been demonstrated
suggesting the great potential of the BPLCEs-based CPL active materials.
Full-color and “on-off” mechanically-switchable circularly polarized luminescence (CPL) is achieved by incorporating red
green
and blue quantum dots (QDs) into reconfigurable blue phase liquid crystal elastomers (BPLCEs).
